Answer:
a. polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.
Explanation:
Polarity is a phenomenon that has to do with the positive and negative electric (ionic) charges of a molecule. A molecule with distinct positive and electric charge is said to be POLAR. However, water is said to be a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent can.
This solvent property of water is a function of its POLARITY. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Hence, only polar solutes can dissolve in water (a polar solvent). Hence, in this case, CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because it is a POLAR molecule/solute.
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, the compound C₆H₁₄ is hexane. Hexane is a member of saturated hydrocarbons (homologous series) called alkanes (with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂). The structure for an hexane is shown below
H H H H H H
I I I I I I
H - C - C - C - C - C - C - H
I I I I I I
H H H H H H
which can also be written as
CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃
For an arrangement of electrons to be nonpolar in a molecule they need to have equal electron charges.
